1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

backgroundEyes shut homolog (EYS) gene mutations are estimated to affect at least 5% of patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Since there is no mammalian model of human EYS disease, it is important to investigate its age-related changes and the degree of central retinal impairment.

methodsA cohort of EYS patients was studied. They underwent full ophthalmic examination as well as assessment of retinal function and structure, by full-field and focal electroretinograms (ERGs) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), respectively. The disease severity stage was determined by the RP stage scoring system (RP-SSS). Central retina atrophy (CRA) was estimated from the automatically calculated area of the sub-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) illumination (SRI).

resultsThe RP-SSS was positively correlated with age, showing an advanced severity score (≥8) at an age of 45 and a disease duration of 15 years. The RP-SSS was positively correlated with the CRA area. LogMAR visual acuity and ellipsoid zone width, but not ERG, were correlated with CRA.

conclusionsIn EYS-related disease, the RP-SSS showed advanced severity at a relative early age and was correlated with the central area of the RPE/photoreceptor atrophy. These correlations may be relevant in view of therapeutic interventions aimed at rescuing rods and cones in EYS-retinopathy.
